30 and 13
x-y=17 and x+y=43
x=17+y and x=43-y, so 17+y=43-y
so y=13
43-13=30, so x=30 and y=13
4/10 = 40/100
40/100 + 55/100 = 95/100
95/100 is your answer
simplest form: 19/20
hope this helps
Answer:
78% (to the nearest tenth)
Step-by-step explanation:
Volume of a cube = (length )³
Let the length of the cube = y
Original volume = y³
if the length is decreased by 40%, then new length = 1- (40% of y)
= 1-0.4y
= 0.6%
New volume (after decreasing the length) = (0.6y)³
= 0.216y³
% Volume decrease = (Original volume - New volume)/Original Volume x 100%
= (y³ - 0.216y³)/ y³ x 100%
= 0.784y³/y³ x 100%
=78.4%
≈78%
